Never be afraid to try something new. Remember amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.

July 28th - August 3rd

Rachel's favorite food is whatever is on someone else's plate.  She keeps growing taller and taller but she is getting skinner, it is hard to find pants long but skinny enough.  She is a lot of fun to play with as she gets older.  She loves putting things into containers and "helping" clean.  

Monday 28th - I got up nice and early to finish packing and get ready for my meeting.  I met with the hunter high tennis coach at 8:30. It was a good meeting and we talked about how we wanted to run the team and what I needed to do to be aloud to coach. On the way home I stopped at Smiths to get some snacks for the trip. After I got back to the house I finished getting Rachel's stuff together and Brigitta finished packing. On the way out of town we stopped at Costco for gas and then the Trax station so I could get the extra car seat out of car. We stopped at Zupas in Lehi for some lunch and then drove all the way to cedar city before having to stop again. Just south of Nephi we were slowed down to 30 mph because it was raining so hard. In Cedar City, we stopped at Wendy's to go to the bathroom and get Rachel some chicken nuggets. That evening Brigitta and I went to cardio tennis while my mom and Sierra went to healthy postures. Gibson watched Rachel for me. That night we played a game of Qwirkle. Brigitta had beginners luck and got 1st place.

Tuesday 29th - In West Valley John spent his early morning running 6 miles. That morning Brigitta, Gibson, and I went to play tennis together. After we finished playing, we joined a class going on. While we were gone my mom and Sierra watched Rachel for me. After I got back and we were all clean, my mom and I took Brigitta, Sierra, and Gibson to summer seminary. While they were gone, my mom, Rachel, and I went to Costco and the bank. After we got back I put Rachel down for a much needed nap. Gibson and Sierra got home not long after that bit Brigitta went to a friends house for the day. My mom and I took naps and played a game of Ticket to Ride (which I one).  We got Little Cesuras on the way to drop my mom off at her school for her CPR training and then I went to pick up Brigitta from her friends house. That evening after my mom got home we played a game Chinese Checkers which Brigitta won (I'm sensing a theme). That night after Rachel went to bed we watched some America's Got Talent.

Wednesday 30th - I got up nice and early and ran to Walmart with my mom before cardio tennis at 8:00. It was a hard work out but I was happy I could do it. After tennis we went to Harmon's to get some stuff for my dad and then back to the Summit to give them to him. On the way home we went to Swig for some drinks. Once we got home it was time for Rachel's nap. While she was sleeping my mom made delicious chocolate chip cookies and Brigitta, Gibson, and I played a game of Trash. Gibson won and Brigitta came in second. At 2:00 Brigitta went to hang out with her grandma and the rest of us went to the pool. Rachel had a great time and a couple little boys followed her around for a long time talking to her and trying to show off for her. After we came home and had dinner the kids went to mutual. I got to spend time just sitting and talking to my parents which was nice. After my parents went to bed Gibson, Brigitta, and I played all the different games in Spot It. Brigitta won almost all of them.

Thursday 31st - Brigitta and Gibson had tennis lessons (at separate times).  While Brigitta was having her lesson my mom, Rachel, and I went to Target.  She got me a new pair of capri-pants, which I love. After my mom and I picked up Brigitta we went back to the house and played a game of Ticket to Ride Europe which I won.  At 11:00 my mom went to pick up Gibson and I got Rachel down for a nap.  Once they were back we played a game of Clue which Gibson won.  After Rachel woke up we went to Brigitta's Kroff grandparent's house to pick up a piano book.  We went to Costco and Walmart to pick up some food for dinner.  When we got back to the house we played a game of Qwirkle which Sierra won.  For dinner we had amazing stuffed hamburgers and corn on the cob.  That evening I finished doing my laundry and packing up all our stuff.  After Rachel went to bed we worked on painting fun nails.  Brigitta did tennis balls on her fingers and I did them on my toes.  My mom did her nails to look like notebook paper with doodles on them.  

Friday August 1st - I got up at 5:30 to get ready to go. John also got up at 5:30 in West Valley and ran 6 miles. Brigitta, Rachel, and I left St. George about 7:00.  We drove to Nephi before we had to stop for a bathroom break and getting Rachel food.  We made it the rest of the way without stopping again.  After we got back I worked on unpacking suitcases and putting Rachel down for her nap.  Once she was asleep I went to get something out of my storage unit and then to wash and vacuum out my car.  John got home soon after I did and it was so good to see each other again.  Right before dinner John and I went to Smith's for some Pesto for Gloria and some food for Rachel.  That night we watched the first Harry Potter movie, which was a lot of fun.  

Saturday 2nd - After we got up John and I took Rachel with us and went to play tennis.  We hit together just the 2 of us for awhile but then we picked up a doubles game with the guys on the court next to us.  It was a lot of fun to play real tennis games again, as it had been awhile.  After we got back and showered, I put Rachel down for her nap and John went to play disc golf with his dad.  Once he got back and Rachel had woken up and had some lunch, we left to run some errands. Our first stop was the storage unit to put stuff away. Next we went to the Kia dealership and got our license plate put on the car. Our last stop was IKEA. We looked at couches headboards and bedside tables. While we were there the fire alarms went off, they were extremely loud but Rachel didn't even care. She looked up when they first started and then just went back to what she was doing. They didn't stay on to long and we were able to finish our shopping trip. We even got John and new pillow. Soon after we got back to the house John left to go meet up with Kevin (his friend from high school) and they watched the REAL game at a sports grill. 

Sunday 3rd - Getting ready for church went pretty smoothly. During sacrament meeting Rachel was pretty good for the most part (meaning that she was staying on our row), towards the end she fell and hit her head against the bench and John had to hurry and take her out. She was good for most of Sunday school. I kept her for Relief Society and she was a little bit distracting. She kept running around the room and entertaining everyone. She spent a lot of time standing at the front with Chelsi who was giving an awesome lesson. After we got back to the house we fed Rachel some lunch and then laid her down for a nap. While she was sleeping I took a nap as well. For dinner we went to our friends Kevin and Kendra's house.  It was a lot of fun and we had delicious pulled pork sandwiches.  After we finished eating we played some games of Nerts, it was a lot of fun and John was easily the best and won every game.  Before we left we put Rachel into her pajamas since we figured she would fall asleep on the way home (we were right).  After we got her to her bed I decided to relax and take a bath.  John had fun relaxing playing games on his computer and phone.
